Example of game without models

I also made an example of how to use compute shaders to create geometry on the fly a while ago:

Marching Cubes on GPU using Compute Shaders

This is an implementation of the Marching Cubes isosurface extraction algorithm, which allows creating a surface mesh from a density voxel field. What’s special about it is that it runs in a Compute Shader, i.e. the bulk of the work is done on the GPU. This allows to very quickly re-create the mesh for a given chunk on the GPU, so with a bit of work real-time editing of a terrain (including cave systems) should be possible. This implementation only covers the basics, things like vertex normal…
